The shooting happened Oct. 4 near the intersection of Ashby Avenue and Seventh Street, according to the Berkeley Police Department.
Police said the man saw the suspects steal a Nissan Altima during a robbery in Oakland and chased them into Berkeley, where he fired a handgun at them from a Chevrolet Tahoe.
The Nissan traveled into neighboring Emeryville and collided with a parked car in the 6700 block of Hollis Street, according to police. The suspects then ran from the Nissan.
The man in the Chevy, along with a female passenger, stopped at the scene and took two bags from the Nissan, police said. They were gone by the time officers arrived.
Emeryville officers later detained the robbery suspects when they returned to the Nissan, according to police.
The man in the Chevy and his passenger were arrested Oct. 6 in Oakland, police said, adding that three firearms – a shotgun and two pistols – were found inside the Chevy.
On Tuesday, the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office charged the man with shooting at an occupied vehicle, carrying a concealed firearm in a vehicle, carrying a loaded firearm in a vehicle, possession of a short-barreled rifle, possession of a firearm by a felon and possession of ammunition by a prohibited person.
The man is being held without bail at the Santa Rita Jail. He is scheduled to appear in court Thursday morning.
